Default Humming noise on driver side, not wheel bearing?

when i make right turns i hear a humming noise coming from the front driver side wheel. thought it was the wheel bearing so i replaced those but it didn't stop the noise. any ideas of what else it might be?

Just when u turn? And u sure its a hum?? My maxima does that and its some dust sheild that was bent when we had the ball joints n stuff replaced. Its a grinding sound, only when turning right.
